tacacs+ versions

Hi All,

For those running tacacs+, are you using the version from
www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/ <http://www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/> or the
version from www.networkforums.net?

I've played with both and like the version from www.networkforums.net
<http://www.networkforums.net/> because it's packaged to incoporate
mysql db and a front-end wedgui for easy administration and reporting
BUT documentation is lacking and it's not that intuitive to get going (I
still haven't been able to create different privilege levels yet).

The version from www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/
<http://www.shrubbery.net/tac_plus/> was easy to install and I had it
up and running in no time but there is no mysql db integration (although
this seems possible) and no front-end webgui to administer users/groups
and provide reporting capabilities.

Shrubbery's version with it's mailing list seems to have a more active
community as opposed to the forum at networkforums.

What are people's experience of using either version?

Thanks.

Andy

We use this one. Quick and easy to install (and upgrade),
especially via the FreeBSD ports. It just works.

Cheers,

Mark.

Second this - we've had this running (with LDAP authentication via pam_ldap) for some time now.

Very easy to get up and running, great support from the community, and extendable via external authorization handlers if you need to do anything custom.

Regards,

Chris
